In this review the Absolute USA ABS99-3002 dash kit and wiring adapters are evaluated for anyone looking to fit an aftermarket single DIN stereo into a Chevy Silverado from 1999 to 2002. The bottom line: this package is for DIY installers and professional shops who need a straightforward, no-cut solution that pairs a Metra dash kit with factory radio and antenna harnesses for a clean install. The standout reason to buy is the plug-and-play wiring and clearly marked, color coded wires that eliminate guesswork during installation.

Key Features

• Metra dash kit compatibility: Provides a single DIN dash mounting solution designed specifically to fit select Chevrolet full-size vehicles from the late 1990s and early 2000s for a factory-like fit.
• Factory-to-aftermarket harness: Includes an Absolute USA radio harness adapter that converts the factory radio connector to standard aftermarket connections to preserve factory wiring without splicing.
• Antenna adapter included: The package contains an antenna adapter to convert the factory antenna plug for aftermarket radios, ensuring radio reception works after swap.
• Plug-and-play installation: Designed for a standard audio system so installers can complete the swap without cutting, soldering, or complex wiring changes.
• Color coded wiring: Wires are clearly marked and color coded which speeds up the install and reduces errors when matching to the new stereo harness.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 1999-2002 Chevy Silverado pickups and other compatible GM full-size vehicles who want to replace a factory radio with an aftermarket single DIN unit while keeping the job simple. It is also useful for technicians and mobile electronics installers who value time-saving, standardized adapters that eliminate vehicle-specific wiring work.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners with nonstandard or premium factory audio systems that may require additional modules, or anyone installing a nonstandard head unit size or advanced integration features like factory steering wheel control adapters not included here.
